- The mana cost of this card is reduced by 1 for each minion that has already died during the current turn (including minions killed during the 'start of turn' phase by effects such as
Doomsayer). - The mana cost of this card cannot be reduced below 0. However, further cost-reductions can help in countering cost-increasing effects like
Loatheb. - This card has an in-hand effect: it modifies its own mana cost only while in the player's hand, and not while the card is anywhere else.

Lore
Blackrock Mountain
In a given dragonflight, not all dragonkin are equally powerful. Drakes are younger dragons, and Nefarian keeps a bunch of these around to do his bidding. They do it all, including acting as guards, enforcers, mounts for favored allies (lookin’ at you Rend), cook, clean, do chores around the lair, and are really great at disposing of excess adventurers. They have a weakness for snacks, so if you have some tasty corpses handy, a drake will be your best friend forever.[1]
World of Warcraft
This section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.- Drakes are dragons that are still relatively young in comparison to their ancient brethren. Drakes are almost always flying while moving, while nether drakes tend to walk. Fully grown dragons are bigger and typically walk while moving. Drakes can be found throughout Azeroth, but are especially prevalent in some areas, such as the Burning Steppes, the Swamp of Sorrows, Winterspring, and in many dungeons.
Trivia
- The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Twilight of the Dragons" series, for the card Obsidian Skyterror.
